Indonesia

After a week in Thailand visiting 3rd Party providers and international school clients we went to Indonesia to do the same. Thanks to all our clients for fantastic hospitality and to the local providers for their input into the best practice workshops and visits. A week in Singapore now and then a break for Tee and I in Japan.

Singapore & Malaysia

We're currently based in Singapore doing work for several international school clients in South East Asia. The work has taken us to some fantastic places advising educational departments on adventure based learning programmes and providing outdoor first aid courses for their staff. Next week, Thailand.

Chamonix Week 3

Dad and I visited Chamonix together for the first time. Aiguille du Midi and Grand Montets as well as Chambre Neuf and great meals at Le Monchu and La Bergerie. Dad gave us a little health scare with an angina attack on the Montets giving me a busmans holiday and him a ride down to Chamonix in the Alouette 3 from the PGHM. He's fine though - our thoughts go to the climbers who lost their lives on the same day and in the avalanche on Mont Blanc du Tacul on Sunday. MB

Back In UK

Tara and I have been in Canada for a break and now T has flown back to Singapore for the start of term. I've recently been in Kent discussing a ropes course build and skills courses with various clients. Next week, Chamonix. MB

Chamonix Week 2

Team "F" arrived and proceeded to drink Chambre Neuf out of Baileys. In between bouts of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline they racked up Cosmiques Arete (slight variation to the start ala Team F), Traverse du Midi Plan, Couloir Grisolle and Mont Blanc du Tacul. Bye fur noo...

Chamonix Week 1

Tara, Lori and I climbed together. It was Lori's first visit to Chamonix and the girls managed an impressive list of climbs and shopping routes from Chamonix Sud. Peak Performance, Petite Verte, L'Atelier, Cosmiques Arete, Chambre Neuf and Lachenal to name but a few!

Snowdonia In June

Just back from our 15th June in Snowdonia providing bespoke adventure programmes for schools. The month was a great success and we look forward to seeing all the schools again next year and welcoming our new clients booked for 2009. Next stop Chamonix.

Back In Singapore

Hi all, finally back in Singapore. Firstly, a big thankyou to Tee for keeping everyone posted on the teams progress whilst I was away. Unfortunately my room at the Yak and Yeti Hotel in Kathmandu was broken into and my Olympus 1030SW camera and all the memory cards stolen the night before I left Nepal. This means all 450 pics and videos have gone - so no updates folks. I also lost 6kg over 7 weeks, not as much as some others! I spend a week here in Singapore relaxing and catching up with the Outdoor Ed Dept in UWCSEA then head back to the UK and work in Snowdonia with the VLM gang. I'll post some pics from others soon. Lastly congrats to all this years summiters and thoughts to families of lost climbers during this years Everest season. MB
